It's been one day since human sinkhole Kevin O'Leary joined the Conservative leadership race as candidate no. 14 and already the Canadian media is working to make it seem like this isn't a giant national embarrassment.

Konrad Yakabuski calls O'Leary a "change maker" and various media are reporting that his entry "energizes" a so-far tepid leadership race. Vice's Justin Ling hilariously tweeted yesterday "I, for what it's worth, think O'Leary is a generally smart guy who says smart things." God help us.
